Chapter 418: Heaven's Net Is Wide and Nothing Can Leak

The unsolved case of "Shuangqiao Old LM" was finally solved, and the criminal Li Baocheng was captured. This cunning man resisted stubbornly at first and denied his crime.

However, he committed more than ten crimes in succession, and the time of each crime coincided with the time when he went out. In addition, the victims consistently identified him based on his body outline, and there was overwhelming evidence that he was caught at the scene of the crime.

Faced with this series of impeccable chain of evidence, Li Baocheng was ultimately unable to escape the law and had no choice but to plead guilty and confess all his evil deeds.

It is incredible to say that Li Baocheng's initial motive for the crime was actually caused by a quarrel between husband and wife!

Li Baocheng's wife works in a factory and often works night shifts. After getting off work, Li Baocheng wants to have sex with her as soon as he wakes up.

But the wife was tired after a night of work and was not in the mood to do it, so the two of them were out of sync and not harmonious in their married life.

Every time after a quarrel about this, Lao Li was very annoyed, but he didn't dare to do anything to his wife. Instead, he went out to harass other people's wives.

Sometimes when he came back from work, his wife was still angry and they continued to quarrel, so he ran out and continued to commit the crime!

For example, in life, if the food is too salty, the meal is cooked late, the socks are not washed cleanly, and so on, for trivial matters like these, as long as there is a quarrel, Li Baocheng will go out and have sex with a woman to vent his dissatisfaction with his wife.

You said that he still loves his wife very much, he just had a quarrel and he couldn't bear to hit his wife to vent his anger, but you can't always mess with other people's wives!
In fact, during the investigation, investigators had listed him as a criminal suspect and had witnessed the couple arguing.

Since he was listed as a suspect, why didn't they arrest him? There are some misleading things here. The first is that the victim's description of the old LM's physical appearance is far from the real person.

Second, a case occurred that overturned the investigators' suspicion of him.

Every time Li Baocheng committed a crime, he mainly raped women and stole as a supplement. Abusing women was his main job, and stealing was just a side job to generate extra income.

In rural areas at that time, there were not many valuable things in the homes. After committing a crime once, Li Baocheng stole a 70-kilogram bag of rice from someone's home.

The investigators began to investigate and determined that "Old LM" did not use any means of transportation and had been walking the entire time. So how far could he walk carrying 70 kilograms of rice?
Besides, it was a rural dirt road, full of potholes. A normal person could walk about five kilometers per hour without any weight.

The investigators thought, since you are carrying 70 kilograms of things, I will give you a discount, so they started searching for suspects within a three-kilometer radius with this scene as the center.

The home of "Old LM" was at least ten kilometers away from the crime scene. Even a big man might not be able to carry 70 kilograms of rice and walk that far, let alone the short Li Baocheng!
So the police investigators thought it couldn't be him, and no longer listed him as a key suspect.

Little did the investigator know that this old rogue was not a normal person at all.

Several consecutive cases that occurred not long afterward made the investigators extremely angry, because the old gangster could commit crimes repeatedly in the same place and against the same person.

One night, a young woman in Gaobeidian Township was raped. After receiving the report, the police immediately investigated and collected evidence, and predicted where he would commit the crime next time.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the police left, the old LM came back and went for the second time.
The police believed that "Old LM" might use the same method to attack previous victims, so they deployed police forces to strengthen the protection of other victims. As a result, when the police were retrieving the addresses of other victims, they received another report. The same woman was attacked by Old LM for the third time!

The case officers were both angry and guilty. They saw the same victim being violated over and over again. They were really angry.
It was not until Zhou Changli provided clues to Zhang Zhijie and the serial murderer Li Baocheng surfaced that the police completely locked him down.

Later, another case occurred, but this case was more special.

That night, Li Baocheng had a quarrel with his wife for some unknown reason, so he wandered to a village in Pingfang Township and found a family.

The hostess of this house is the women's director of the village. Since she is the director, she must be stronger than ordinary women in terms of mental, physical, reaction ability and fighting power.

"Old LM" Li Baocheng still used the same routine. He first took off all his clothes in the west room, put on a mask, then came to the door of the east room and knocked on the glass.

He lowered his voice and whispered, "I'm the old LM, let me play for a while!"

The female director was also shocked when she heard the name "Old LM". After all, it was the middle of the night and she was alone at home. But she reacted immediately and thought, "Who am I? I am the women's director. I must not let this old LM succeed!"

She jumped off the bed, walked to the door in two steps, picked up a big wooden stick in the room, and propped the door shut.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly. If she had been a step slower, the old gangster might have broken in.

When old LM heard some noise inside the house, he pushed the door and said, "Huh?" Nothing moved!
The door was blocked tightly inside. The old LM was furious. He threatened the director, "You idiot, you blocked the door today and didn't let me in. I'll come again tomorrow night. I don't believe I can't deal with you!"

The director yelled, "Get lost, you shameless old man!" Then he started to yell, "Say someone, arrest that old LM!"

"Someone come quickly..."

At this time, two police officers in plain clothes quietly followed Li Baocheng and quickly appeared after hearing the noise.

Although they were in disguise, Li Baocheng did not recognize their identity as police officers. However, based on their agile skills and keen intuition, he knew that they were extraordinary.

Li Baocheng was doomed when he saw this. He had met a tough guy, so he ran away with his bare butt!

Thanks to the calmness and courage of the women's director, old LM was unable to succeed, so she explained the situation to the investigators who later returned empty-handed while tracking down Li Baocheng.

Zhang Zhijie, who was in charge of the case, heard this and said, "Damn it, you old LM, you are too arrogant. Isn't this a blatant provocation to our police?"

However, considering that this person does not play by the rules, it is better to believe it than not, so we finally decided to set a trap to entrap this old LM.

So Zhang Zhijie found a pretty female police officer with a curvy figure to pretend to be the director of women's affairs so that the old LM would take the bait.

The next night, the police in Dongcheng who were handling the case were divided into two groups. One group was outside the village, and the other group set up an ambush around the women's director's house. After the female police officers put on makeup, they waited inside the house for the old man to fall into the trap.

At this time, the village was silent and dark. The lights in the director's house were also off. The female police officer was hiding under the window with a small female police pistol, waiting for the old LM.

The leader of the arrest team outside is led by Zhang Zhijie himself. The team members are all capable personnel from the "Thirteenth Department", which is known as "the best department in the world" and specializes in solving major cases.

Everything was ready and everyone was in position. We waited until three in the morning and old LM arrived as promised.

He is coming, he is really coming, he is coming here in a jump!
I saw a dark shadow walk up to a haystack and stop. After making sure that there was no one around, it walked around the haystack and quietly headed towards the women's director's house.

At this time everyone was very excited, thinking to themselves that you, "old LM", must be caught tonight to rid the people of this evil!
Just when everyone was getting ready to go, something unexpected happened. The black shadow was Li Baocheng. He suddenly stopped and looked at the director's house thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about something?
Zhang Zhijie instantly became nervous, "Could it be that there was a problem with our ambush?"

Suddenly, Li Baocheng turned around and ran towards the village entrance. Zhang Zhijie thought, "Not good!" He immediately signaled to his comrades, "God damn it! Chase him! Don't let him get away!"

So everyone immediately turned on their flashlights and shouted "Stop!" "Stop!" "Otherwise we will shoot!" and chased after Li Baocheng.

When Li Baocheng heard this, he was so scared that he ran even faster!
Li Baocheng was seen running like a wisp of green smoke. In addition, the distance between them was quite far and there was fog that night, so they almost failed to catch up with him and let "Old LM" escape.

Fortunately, they brought the police dogs with them. With the help of seven or eight police dogs, they captured Li Baocheng after he had run three miles.

On the spot, Zhang Zhijie was so angry that he jumped up and down, cursing his grandma, this was too weird, what did this old guy see and turn around and run away?

He immediately ordered an investigation into the cause. After everyone entered the room and turned on the lights, they saw a cigarette butt on the ground and asked the female police officer what happened to the cigarette butt.
The female police officer said, "I was too bored staying in the house, and I was very sleepy in the second half of the night, so I wanted to refresh myself, so I secretly lit a cigarette and puffed it.

Zhang Zhijie understood now, it was all your fault, the cigarette butt caused the trouble! Not many women smoke these days, and the cigarette butt flickered in the dark, which made Li Baocheng, who rushed into the house, suspicious.

He knew that it was definitely not the director of women's affairs, but the police lying in ambush. Zhang Zhijie said to Liu Zhiye with emotion on the phone: "That guy ran like a puff of smoke. We were far away and there was fog around us. We almost couldn't catch him. If he had really run away, it would have been difficult for us to catch him. Fortunately, you reminded us to bring the police dog..."

Liu Zhiye was also frightened when he heard this. "I didn't expect this kid to be so talented. It's a pity that he didn't use his talent in the right way. Otherwise, he could have won glory for the country in international sports competitions!"

"Old LM" Li Baocheng was born in 1944 in Xianninghou Village. He left the impression on the villagers that he was "enthusiastic and hardworking."

Because his wife often worked night shifts, their sex life was extremely disharmonious and they often quarreled about it.

His wife's long night shifts provided Li Baocheng with convenient conditions for committing the crime.

After the incident, his wife was so surprised that the police thought she was acting.

Li Baocheng had to travel frequently to various villages to practice medicine. He was familiar with almost all the remote paths and field trails in each village, and was well aware of the family situations in each village.

During his medical practice, villagers often revealed news of public security deployment in casual conversations. Combined with his intentional or unintentional attempts to obtain "intelligence", it was easy for him to learn the whereabouts of the public security militia.

Li Baocheng was finally severely punished, and his evil deeds were exposed. In Shuangqiao, the women heard the news, and they felt relieved. They hurriedly passed the good news to each other, their faces filled with relief and gratitude.

In the streets and alleys, people rushed around and spread the word, praising the public security departments for their actions in eliminating violence and protecting the innocent, commending them for eliminating harm for the people and saying it was gratifying.

For a moment, people on and off Shuangqiao were filled with righteousness and excitement.

However, Zhang Zhijie, who successfully solved the case, was not particularly happy. He said to Liu Zhiye: "If it weren't for you, we don't know how long he would have gotten away with it!
Also, I didn't react at the time, and now I regret it so much, why didn't I slap him in the face? I admit that I violated the rules!"

Liu Zhiye raised a smile and said concisely: "Okay, we are lucky to catch this guy. I have studied his criminal trajectory in detail and have to admit that this guy is indeed a genius in the criminal world with extraordinary talent. If Zhou Changli had not provided clues in time, we would have had a lot of trouble to bring him to justice..."

Zhang Zhijie's lips curled up slightly. With the successful conclusion of the case, the burden in his heart was also lifted. He naturally brought up another topic: "By the way, what are you going to do about Zhou Changli?"

He secretly wondered what Liu Zhiye was planning, so he directly asked him what he thought about the handling of Zhou Changli. He wanted to hear Liu Zhiye's opinion.

Liu Zhiye is now in a high position, and he is not overly concerned about desperate criminals like "little bastard" Zhou Changli.

He was just adhering to the principle of nipping the hidden danger in the bud and solving it without any intention of investigating it further.

"As for Zhou Changli, you must interrogate him carefully and make him confess all his crimes. At the same time, according to his meritorious performance, give him corresponding leniency as an encouragement."

"Well, if possible, tell Zhou Changli not to hang around in the capital after he gets out..."

After learning about Liu Zhiye's intention, Zhang Zhijie had a plan in mind. He continued, "By the way, there was another main culprit at the time. Do you remember the one called Wang Xiaodian?"

Liu Zhiye was moved when he heard this: "Oh? What happened to him?"

Zhang Zhijie sighed softly: "This guy caused a lot of trouble, but we don't have solid evidence to arrest him. Besides, someone came forward to say hello..."

"Old Liu, you have to be careful of these people, in case they hold a grudge against you..."

Liu Zhiye frowned. He was not afraid of these "little characters". After all, Liujiazhuang was not a place where anyone could act wildly. No one dared to provoke them easily. However, his family members in other places had to be extra careful.

"I will. Thanks for the reminder, Mr. Zhang!"

Zhang Zhijie was worried that Liu Zhiye didn't know the danger of these "little soldiers". He still said worriedly: "Old Liu, you must pay attention to it. Many old..."

When Liu Zhiye heard this, a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, I act uprightly, why should I be afraid of these villains..."

He was very carefree in his words, but in fact he was secretly on guard. After all, the Liu family had a huge foundation and could not afford any mistakes.

He thought to himself, "Humph! If he behaves himself, that's fine. Otherwise, it won't be difficult for me to make him disappear quietly."

Liu Zhiye was not a pedantic person. He was now involved with too many people. If one prospers, all prosper. If one declines, all decline. Afterwards, Liu Zhiye never made a move without preparation. Afterwards, he ordered people to reveal the identities and backgrounds of Wang Xiaodian and his gang.

The young men from the compound, led by Wang, confronted Zhou Chang who used these people.

Later, the player who had been beaten by them began to recuperate and recover.

They formed "docks" based on geographical boundaries and began to merge and conflict with each other.

The real name of "Little Bastard" is Zhou Changli. He is the leader of the playboys among the children of common people in Jishuitan and Xinjiekou areas of Xicheng District.

Zhou Changli's father ran a blacksmith shop before the founding of the People's Republic of China, so his family was classified as a ZB family. The family of eight lived in a simple building between the Deshengmen Tower and the West Sea.

Zhou Changli’s fame is not actually due to his fierce fighting skills.

The leader usually does not take action. "He just says, 'I'm a little bastard from Xinjiekou', and we'll charge forward after he's signed up."

Rather, because Zhou Changli is good at planning and organizing, his fame is growing.

At first, because they still had some power as hooligans and the gangsters were still young and inexperienced, the two sides basically kept to themselves.

Later one day, Zhou Changli and his companions went to the Xinqiao Restaurant, the traditional territory of the children from the compound, for their first meal and were ridiculed.

After that, there were constant conflicts between the two sides.

Not long after, Wang Xiaodian and others were getting a haircut in Xisi area. One of them went out alone to buy popsicles. He saw Zhou Changli and others, but ran away before he could arrive.

A group of people from the other side surrounded him and asked him, "Where are you from?" Wang Xiaodian's people did not answer but asked, "Who are you?"

The leader was Zhou Changli, who said, "I am the little bastard you are looking for..."

Wang Xiaodian's face changed, and he said stubbornly: "I'm from the Third School, what do you want?"

Zhou Changli said: "The ones being forked are from your three schools!" Before he finished speaking, one of his men stabbed Wang Xiaodian's men from behind, hitting them in the shoulder blade, and another stabbed him in the thigh, severing a tendon.

From then on, the two sides began a fight to the death.

After Liu Zhiye finished reading the files, he felt relieved and secretly admired Wang Xiaodian for his outstanding qualities, but he was not good enough to compare with him.

Afterwards, another incident happened that caused Liu Zhiye's defenses to loosen quietly.

Specifically, Wang's parents came to apologize in person, and their sincere attitude was touching. Liu Zhiye thought again and again and felt that it would be better to make peace instead of arguing endlessly.

Although he himself did not care much about the matter, he thought it was better to have one more friend than one more potential enemy, so he chose tolerance and reconciliation.
